2019 Audi A5 2.0L Petrol · WF69 FBB

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-02-24 at 41,094 miles confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past 15 months. The absence of advisories or recurring issues in any of the three available tests suggests the vehicle has not experienced significant mechanical failures or neglect during this period. However, the 2025 test occurred just over a year ago, meaning the current roadworthiness status is not up to date—buyers should prioritise a recent inspection to verify no latent faults have developed. The recorded mileage of 41,094 miles over seven years—approximately 5,871 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the A5’s typical usage patterns. The largest gap between tests spans 19 months (from 2022-10-07 to 2025-02-24), during which the vehicle accumulated 9,143 miles. While this suggests lighter use or prolonged storage, it also raises questions about whether critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers have been subjected to extended periods of inactivity, potentially accelerating wear. The lack of intermediate MOTs means there is no record of how the vehicle performed between these tests, leaving unanswered whether minor issues were addressed or if corrosion or fluid leaks went unchecked. Given the sparse MOT history, the buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of high-wear areas that are not typically captured in a standard MOT. Focus on the suspension—particularly the front and rear bushes, as well as coil springs—for signs of cracking or excessive play, which could compromise handling. The braking system warrants scrutiny: check for uneven wear on brake discs, binding calipers, or corrosion on the brake lines, as these are often overlooked between MOTs. Additionally, examine the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and exhaust components, given the vehicle’s age and the potential for prolonged exposure to moisture. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or rusted sections, as emissions-related faults are not always flagged in a basic MOT. A pre-purchase diagnostic scan for fault codes would also provide clarity on any electronic or drivetrain concerns.
